Combo machine which makes coffee and tea or hot chocolate if that's to your taste. It cost £67.99 and is handy because the dimensions are just 16.7 x 13.7 x 11.9 inches, so it can just about fit anywhere. The tassimo uses an exclusively new uses drink pods called T-DISCS to brew your drinks. This was the main reason for purchasing the maker, because the discs include a precise amounts of coffee, tea, chocolate, which is either concentrated with water or milk I think. The discs also have a barcode which gives the instructions on exactly how the drink should be brewed for each t-disc. This works fine for coffee and hot chocolate, but for tea it's just awful. It has no way to easily replicate a tea bag and therefore fails miserably. With few extra features there is not much the tassimo does except brew the correct about of water for each T-disc, and for this reason the price tag seems hefty for what you get. I am expecting that once the technology is old this machine will be in the sales for £15 probably. It's good for people in a rush, but if you want a quality cup of morning coffee or tea, then do not throw your kettle or percolator away.

I Disagree with the above comments. The machine makes a perfect Restaraunt quality cup of tea or coffee. The Barcode reader on the machine reads the information on the Tdiscs to set the correct temperature and water quantity for the beverage. I cant fault this machine.
